Tsunade. As one of the most powerful medical - nin in the Naruto universe, Tsunade has the skills and knowledge to create a new arm for Naruto. She might use her unique chakra - enhanced strength and her vast medical experience to develop a new arm that not only functions like a normal arm but also gives Naruto some added advantages in combat. Maybe she uses some of the cells from Hashirama, like she did with Yamato, to create a more durable and powerful arm for Naruto.
Sasuke could be a candidate. Given their complex relationship, Sasuke might find a way to give Naruto a new arm as a way to atone for their past differences. He could have discovered some rare medical ninjutsu during his travels or come across a powerful artifact that he uses to create a new arm for Naruto.
Maybe Orochimaru. Despite being a villain in the past, he is a master of forbidden jutsus and experiments. He could see Naruto as an interesting subject and give him a new arm with some dark powers, which Naruto would then have to learn to control for the greater good.
Well, one possibility could be that Naruto gets a new arm with some special abilities. Maybe it was given to him by a powerful ally or he discovers an ancient artifact that attaches to him as a new arm. This new arm could have powers like enhanced strength for his ninja techniques or the ability to sense danger more acutely.
Well, perhaps the new arm comes from some kind of ancient and mysterious source. It could be an arm that was once part of a powerful ninja from the past. This new arm could have a mind of its own, at first causing Naruto some trouble as he tries to control it, but eventually they work in harmony and it gives Naruto an edge in battles against tough enemies.
It could be a new and powerful rogue ninja who manages to overpower Naruto and cause him to lose his arm. Maybe this antagonist has some sort of vendetta against Naruto or the Hidden Leaf village.
Well, it could be that he got it as a gift from some super - advanced ninja technology group in the fanfiction world. Maybe they saw his need for an extra weapon or tool during battles and decided to equip him with a metal arm.
One special ability could be enhanced strength. The metal arm might be able to deliver much more powerful punches than his normal arm, allowing him to break through tough defenses more easily.
Another possibility is that Naruto and Yang have a special bond. This bond could be formed through shared experiences, like they both went through a difficult training together or survived a life - threatening situation. Because of this special connection, Naruto feels indebted to Yang or simply values Yang's life more than his own arm.
A possible main antagonist in such a fanfic could be a dark entity that has possessed someone close to Naruto. This entity could be using the host's body to get close to Naruto and then attacks him, resulting in the loss of his arm. Naruto would then have to figure out not only how to deal with his injury but also how to save his friend from the dark entity's control.
The main antagonist could be an old enemy who has resurfaced and is more powerful than ever. This enemy targets Naruto specifically and manages to injure him so severely that he loses his arm. For example, Orochimaru could return with new and more deadly powers.
Maybe he was protecting someone in Wave. He's always the self - sacrificing type, so he could have put himself in harm's way to save a villager or a friend.
